MARCH 8
– INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY LET’S
MARCH IN INTERNATIONALIST UNITY We, women from different corners of the world - The system dishes out oppression against women in different forms. The
global chain of oppression unites hundreds of millions of women together in
one fight. State sanctioned oppression and oppression in family complements
our chain of oppression. But this oppression makes women formidable fighters for their
emancipation. The rampant blitz of capital and the “new world order” has worsened
women’s situation. Poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, unemployment, bonded
labour, violence, everywhere have increasingly feminized. As capitalism has interwoven the whole world in a single unit of
exploitation and oppression, the struggle and resistance of women against
oppression also has to become globalized. We hear each others voice and our
heart goes out to each other in internationalist solidarity and unity. We get
inspiration from each others struggles and dare to break our chains with even
mightier struggles. Women’s oppression is a major pillar of capitalism. Without overthrowing
this oppression, it is not possible to abolish the capitalist system and the
emancipation of women is linked to the overthrow of the class system itself. We call upon all women and men, who are yearning to change this world
that is so full of different kinds of oppression, to join our
internationalist march. It is one hundred years since the start of March 8 as
International Women’s Day. Let’s celebrate this day together, with a firm
conviction that we, women of the world, will not tolerate such a denigrating
oppression and will fight against it in all its forms and in all countries of
the world – and in this way contribute to the emancipation of humanity. 8 March 2008 The demonstration starts in front of the US-embassy at 1 pm; speakers from Iraq and Afghanistan, will go in front of the European Parliament and will protest
